If you're using the term "Linus & co" to refer to people who are discouraging devs from contributing, then FirmwareBurner is not "Linus & co" either, yet you included them in your accusation, saying FirmwareBurner was among those discouraging devs from contributing.
If there is no "I" in the people you're accusing of wrongdoing, then there is no FirmwareBurner in it, either. That's the mistake. It's the one you fixed.
When you're referring to a group of people, "you" is only appropriate to use when the person you're speaking to is a member of that group. I don't see any group here, of which they're a member and you aren't.
But hey, on the plus side, we're all in the same group when it comes to being human, so "we" is totally fine, too (I personally prefer language that brings us together).
